As you know i have recently come back from a beautiful trip to Wales and this poem was inspired by my evening walks down to a lovely little cove. -------------------------------------- The sizzling sun relinquishes its hold A soft warm evening begins to unfold Cool dark leaves on the trees in the lane Glint healthily awaiting the rain Two rabbits streak by They frighten a thrush just a flash of white tails Darting under a bush The wind dances warmly Stirring lightly the air Embracing all nature whispering in my hair A shock of purple In amongst the greenery Is a beautiful foxglove Enhancing the scenery The sound of the ocean Grows ever intense As the lane meanders To the cliffs and a fence A trodden pathway Breaks off and away Gently sloping Right down to the bay A miriad of pebbles Lead on to the sand As if to seperate The sea from the land The cove holds her arms out To welcome the sea As the sky swallows the sun And sets the night free. |

The cove holds her arms out To welcome the sea As the sky swallows the sun And sets the night free. Love these lines.....love the whole poem. Thanks for sharing such wonderful pictures in words with us. Chris  "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Put it this way I'm English and my memories of Wales are sitting in a tent in the middle of no-where in the rain with sheep trying to invade my space...yet this poem somehow made me want to go there, you should send it to the Wales Tourism Board or something lol. |
